Who makes them? They look pretty good although I personally prefer a much thinner spoke.

They are shaped really similar to the Axis Milano's. I think they look okay but I personally like thinner spokes also. I went with the Axis Hiro's for that reason.

I agree, thinner looks better. But they aren't that bad, how much are they.

they look nice... but thinner spokes would probably look better

since they're deep dish and 18s, the thick spokes will make them look even smaller

heavy not worth it, unless you don't car about your engine at all, this load is very extra, and its not worth it, it will damage your drivetrain and suspension and engine and clutch. Sorry been there. DOne that. get the lightest wheels possible.

They have ornamental bolts in them. Weight savings was not a priority for this wheel maker.
